About this restaurant

Charming
Great for outdoor dining
Good for special occasions

We invite our community to participate in a time-honored tradition. Experience food as a daily pursuit, a connection to ingredients as they were meant to be.

Pa’La is food with a sense of history, cooking in a way that is inherently approachable and human.

The kitchen at Pa’La centers around a hand-built wood-burning oven and a Japanese Robata grill. In our cooking we use fire, smoke, coals, and embers to create dishes that reflect the seafood, grains, and vegetable-driven coastal cultures of the Mediterranean, Japan and South America. We are committed to strong relationships with a few select organic farmers and artisans practicing responsible agriculture and production.

Because we source ingredients at their peak, our menu is continually changing. Each day we cook dishes determined by the best materials available.

The atmosphere is lovely and the fire at the front is very inviting. All of the food smelled great. It was a coursed set Jamaican dinner so I could not partake of the fish and seafood courses, I can only report the aromas were inviting. The cucumber salad was a great starter. The next course for me was to be butternut squash; the server stole half of my dish and gave it to someone else. It smelled lovely and the flavor was pretty good but mine was underdone and the fish was over salted. The beef course was very flavorful but my meat was very well done; the meat was dry but the curry sauce was fantastic (I just wish it had not been snatched away before I was done with it.) The jerk pork was fabulously flavored but not properly trimmed as I got a large inedible piece. The grapefruit rim cake was surprising; a bit bitter and a bit sweet. Overall; flavors are great but technique needs work. Servers need to stop removing food without asking. I also found the tiny plates difficult and do not like reusing the same utensils for different courses.

An amazing place with great food. Stumbled across it looking for a place to eat near Wren House Brewing project. Both gems in unassuming facades.
